+
+## Minutes
+
+### Enable KVM on PPC64LE (RFC [#0002](https://github.com/AlmaLinux/ALESCo/pull/3))
+- PPC64LE KVM packages work; OpenStack Nova/PPC libvirt issues
+- Outcome: RFC accepted unanimously.
+
+### NVIDIA Open-Source Driver (RFC [#0004](https://github.com/AlmaLinux/ALESCo/pull/8))
+- Packaging complete; kernel-module signing almost finished.
+- negativo17 (https://negativo17.org/nvidia-driver/) repo will serve until official NVIDIA repo appears. Have discussed w/ them.
+- Outcome: RFC accepted unanimously.
+- Actions:
+    - Neal to finish signing workflow.
+    - Jonathan to coordinate with NVIDIA’s Simone about repo hand-off
+
+### Enable CRB by Default in AlmaLinux 10 (RFC [#0006](https://github.com/AlmaLinux/ALESCo/pull/10))
+- Motivation: SELinux-policy split will break EPEL without CRB.
+- Pros: smoother UX; already on in RHEL containers.
+- Cons: diverges from vanilla RHEL; minor metadata hit
+- Outcome: Vote postponed to next meeting.
+- Actions:
+    - All members to seek concrete breakage scenarios.
+
+### Btrfs Tech Preview (RFC [#0005](https://github.com/AlmaLinux/ALESCo/pull/9))
+- CentOS Stream Hyperscale patches exist; installer already patched.
+- Concerns: long-term KABI drift, but Stream gives early warning.
+- Outcome: Approved for “Kitten” branch only; async vote later for 10 GA.
+- Actions:
+  - Enable for Kitten, see how it goes to help determine if we consider it for 10 GA
+
+### Use dynamic workspace indicator on GNOME (RFC [#0003](https://github.com/AlmaLinux/ALESCo/pull/6))
+- Goal: keep workspace-dots indicator and add AlmaLinux logo to the left.
+- Needs a new patch; no vote yet.
+- Actions:
+  - Elkhan & Neal (with help from Javi) to draft PoC/patch
+
